We had PLENTY of junk food back then, I promise you. This was not some agrarian paradise. Our food was chock full of chemicals.[/quote]

I’m 42 and we totally had lunchables in the 80’s. Also, bologna/American was a popular sandwich. Usually with a side of Doritos. And like a PP mentioned it was all in the those plastic sandwich baggies that folded instead of zipped because the zipper ones were way too expensive![/quote]

I’m 46, co-sign everything above. My mom wouldn’t buy Lunchables because she said they were overpriced and full of sodium. But she did buy Cokes (I’m sure I had a 16 oz glass bottle — remember those?! — nearly every day), and Hostess snack cakes, and Better Cheddars, and sugary granola bars, and all sorts of junk.

And like a PP in this thread described, “salad” was a big hunk of iceberg with dressing. Maybe some tomatoes and carrots.

Oh, and we ate at McDonald’s at least once a week.

I’m the same height as I was in my early teens (my growth spurt was early). Back then, I weighed about 15 pounds less. Sigh. Now it’s a constant struggle and takes vigilance not to put on any more pounds. [/quote]
